This week in Corrie, Deirdre joins the Weatherfield Women’s Action Group. Well, Blanche had her 1o’clock club, so Deirdre should have her fun too. She takes a packet of custard creams to chew over along with the pressing issues of the day, whatever they might be for the women of Weatherfield. For Deirdre, she needs to think about what to wear as mother of the bride when Tracy tells her she and Rob are getting wed. “Engaged?” shrieks Deirdre. “Yeah, like a public toilet,” replies Tracy, looking a bit flushed. Clearly it’ll be a marriage of convenience and will last a wee while. Oh, stop me now with these toilet jokes before I go round the bend. Deirdre wonders about wearing puce to the wedding while Tracy ogles Rob’s bum in the Rovers. “You can’t marry a bum though, Tracy,” Deidre warns daughter. “Take it from one who’s tried. Several times. Samir’s was like two spacehoppers in a holdall.”
Mad Maria, as she must now be called, texts Tyrone again, pretending to be Kirsty. This puts the frighteners on Tyrone and things are not good between him and Fiz, especially when he goes to Maria for tea and sympathy about the texts that are coming from Maria herself. Sorry, from Mad Maria herself. In the salon, David realises what Maria is up to with the texts and tells her she ought to stop it right now. He’s done some daft things in his time and he knows what Maria is up to can only lead to no good. “You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube,” he advises Maria sagely. “And that’s a whole load of toothpaste.”
Over at the Rovers, Steve tells Tina he knows the truth about her affair with Peter Barlow. Peter’s still in rehab and Carla and Simon try, and fail, to bond while he’s away. Leanne looks after little Simon but she’s got a lot on her mind when she kisses Kal in the Bistro. Kal’s called in to strip off and help out when a male stripper fails to turn up at the Bistro for a hen do. Decked out in a dicky-bow tie, Kal gets chocolate pud smeared all over his midriff by the hens and then he’s snogged by Leanne. That should all have been more exciting, or at least interesting, than it actually was. I do like actor Jimi Mistry, but the character of Kal isn’t working for me.
Gail takes up self-defence classes at the newly opened gym, along with Mary. Gail’s nervous that her burglar has only been given a 12 month sentence, which no doubt means he’ll be out in two weeks.
And that’s just about that for this week.

Simon Crowther and Jonathan Harvey. Find out more about the Coronation
